I agree. I have one 13" tom that I use for a floor on my small footprint kit. Other than that, they're all even sizes.Odd sizes for the sake of odd sizes would be more of a headache than a reward to me.
Given the number of head types offered, it's EXTREMELY unlikely that a company would want to introduce several new sizes for the applicable tom models, and EXTREMELY unlikely that stores would carry any of them. Good luck getting bags for those drums!Only if the drumhead manufacturers make these sizes.
My usual cymbal set up is 15, 17, and 19" crashes, 21" ride and 15" hi hats. I really didn't set out to have so many odd-sized cymbals, but I like what I have!Now, cymbals are a different animal, and because they tend to be so individual - or sometimes so consistent - an inch can make an audible difference.
My cymbals are all odd dimensions too: 15" hats, two 19" crashes, and a 21" ride. Like you, my initial intent wasn't to select only odd sizes. They just sounded "right" to me.My usual cymbal set up is 15, 17, and 19" crashes, 21" ride and 15" hi hats. I really didn't set out to have so many odd-sized cymbals, but I like what I have!
Can you share what company would do this?You can special order heads in these sizes. I change my heads about every ten years, so no problem. The main thing is that it better be your lifetime instrument, because nobody's going to want to buy the thing off you.

Someone else has probably thought of this already, but what if toms where all odd sizes (diameter) for example you could have a drum set with six toms, sizes: 7, 9, 11, 13, and Floor toms: 15, 17. I know you can get some of these but would you use a kit with all odd tom sizes.
I thought Simon Phillips had either a 9 or an 11 on the red Tama kit circa The Who gig in 1989. Something weird like that.
